Chapter 133: Finding a Teacher for My Cousin! Controlling an Ingredient Supply Company?

Su Yang asked again, "Did you have a girl you liked when you were in school?"

"I did, but she didn't like me back!"

"Did you confess?"

"Yeah!" He Zhiheng nodded. "I was gently rejected."

Su Yang comforted him, "Having the guts to confess is pretty good!"

"The guys in my dorm egged me on," He Zhiheng said helplessly. "I thought the chance of success was low at the time, but I tried anyway."

Su Yang looked at his cousin.

Ordinary looks, poor at speaking, and disliked socializing.

Liked staying home to read novels and play games, never had a serious relationship... he was the textbook definition of a loner!

Fortunately, he had been training at the company for a while lately, running around outside as an employee of the Market Expansion Department.

Now that he was doing procurement, he often had to deal with people, so his personality wasn't as withdrawn as before.

"Alright!" Su Yang lowered his head and thought for a moment. "When we get back to the company, I'll find a way to help you."

"Cousin, we agreed you wouldn't interfere!"

He Zhiheng felt uncomfortable all over.

Su Yang smiled and said, "No, I'm just thinking of a way to help you improve!"

"Okay then!"

Put that way, He Zhiheng could accept it.

In the following days, Su Yang didn't encounter anyone trying to borrow money, and his life was fairly peaceful.

He was just a bit too idle!

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the holiday hadn't ended yet.

Su Yang left thirty thousand yuan in pocket money for his parents, telling them to rest more and that they could go wherever they wanted to play; he would handle the money-making.

Then he took his cousin back to the company.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give more pocket money.

Even if he gave more, they wouldn't spend it and would likely save it; they were used to being frugal!

Anyway, he would start by transferring tens of thousands to their bank cards every month to let them know he was making money.

Once they got used to it, he would gradually increase the amount to build up their tolerance.

If he transferred a million all at once, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep!

Tao Xue heard that Su Yang was back and came over that very day.

The two of them spent a pleasant day together.

The next day, the employees of Su Yang's four companies began working.

In fact, employees from the four companies still resigned for various reasons.

This included his twenty-plus hotpot restaurants and the snack factory.

However, the turnover rate was very low, which Su Yang found perfectly acceptable.

Besides, it was relatively easy to hire people after the New Year!

After Tan Yanghong returned to the company, he continued to preside over the recruitment work.

Everyone was looking for jobs after the New Year, so the recruitment was quite swift this time, and the progress greatly satisfied Su Yang!

Su Yang also injected three million yuan into Jiuxiang Snacks, encouraging them to run more advertisements on Spark Media.

After Spark Media was packed with two hundred employees, it temporarily stopped hiring more and instead continued to sign influencers, conduct business, and integrate internal personnel.

Thanks to the fact that many signed influencers like Jiang Yan and Gong Zihao had either risen to fame directly or were seeing rapid follower growth.

Spark Media gradually became well-known in the influencer circle, making it easier to sign people.

The number of influencers officially signed with Spark Media gradually exceeded a hundred!

But Su Yang hadn't forgotten about his cousin's matter.

After some thought, he called for Yin Zhiyang, a male fitness coach from the Luhu District branch of Spark Fitness.

Yin Zhiyang was thirty-three years old, considered a "senior" fitness coach, which was rare in gyms.

Su Yang had heard of this person before; despite having quite ordinary looks, he had dated many girlfriends when he was younger.

Later, two years ago, he turned over a new leaf after getting married.

Strangely enough, his wife's looks were also quite ordinary, and she wasn't from a wealthy family either.

This made many people click their tongues in wonder!

Su Yang had listened to it as gossip at the time.

Yin Zhiyang performed well in the gym.

His sales performance was firmly in the top three of the Luhu District gym, occasionally reaching second or first place.

It was absolutely impossible to say his emotional intelligence was low.

His loyalty also exceeded seventy-five, and he had the pressure of a mortgage...

Su Yang felt that having him give his cousin some lessons shouldn't be a problem!

His cousin's main issue was still his personality.

He would probably get nervous just talking when he was with a girl.

Someone with rich experience like Yin Zhiyang should be able to help him!

Originally, he wanted to find a female player, but he gave up on the idea upon further thought; what if he was taught something wrong?

When Yin Zhiyang arrived at the Spark Fitness headquarters with an apprehensive heart and heard his big boss's request, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

Teach a boy how to date?

What kind of situation is this!

However, it was really hard for him to refuse the big boss's request.

Since Spark Fitness acquired the gym, the foot traffic had increased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

His life was much more comfortable than before.

"Teach him during your time off!" Su Yang said in a low voice. "I'll pay you five hundred per hour."

"Ah?"

Yin Zhiyang was somewhat surprised.

"Unwilling?"

"I'm willing, of course I'm willing!"

Yin Zhiyang nodded repeatedly.

Teaching during his time off was indeed a bit tiring, but five hundred an hour!

And the gym wouldn't take a cut!

His child was already two years old, and he was under a lot of pressure right now.

"Also, don't say I'm paying you. Just say you're taking the time to teach him because I asked you for a favor!"

"Okay!"

"Remember not to let this leak out, and don't reveal my relationship with him either!"

"I understand, Boss!"

After giving He Zhiheng's phone number to Yin Zhiyang and greeting his cousin, he hoped his cousin could learn some useful knowledge from Yin Zhiyang!

As for worrying about his cousin being taught to be a player?

That was impossible.

Some people are just too upright at their core; they can't be bent!

Just as he finished arranging the teacher for his cousin, Ji Guoxiong from Jiuxiang Catering found Su Yang.

He said that after sensing Jiuxiang Catering's intention to set up its own ingredient supply company, two companies that supplied ingredients to Nine Fragrance Hotpot wanted to directly invite Jiuxiang Catering to invest.

One of the larger companies only accepted investment but not a controlling interest.

On the other hand, the smaller supplier was willing to accept a controlling stake.

Having been with Su Yang for a while, Ji Guoxiong knew his boss's personality.

He had a strong desire for control!

That smaller ingredient supply chain company was called Fengyuan.

Fengyuan's current boss was named Liao Mingjun, a second-generation rich kid with decent abilities.

Fengyuan was established by Liao Mingjun's father, Liao Xiong, along with two other partners.

However, after Liao Mingjun's father died, the remaining two partners didn't respect Liao Mingjun, leading to internal strife in the company for a period of time.

Coincidentally, during this period, competitors snatched away a lot of Fengyuan's business.

Recently, the two company partners didn't want to fight anymore and wanted to leave.

When Liao Mingjun discovered Jiuxiang Catering's idea of setting up its own ingredient supply chain company, he went directly to Ji Guoxiong!

Fengyuan not only had its own food processing plant but also its own cold storage and cold-chain logistics distribution.

It had also signed cooperation agreements with many farmers.

After cooperating with Jiuxiang Catering, the quality of Fengyuan's ingredients had satisfied Ji Guoxiong, and the delivery times were prompt, with no issues ever arising.

So he had the idea of directly taking a controlling stake in Fengyuan!

Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone!
